Cabot Vineyards

This family-run winery is located in Humboldt County and has the northernmost vineyards and winery in California. John and Kimberly Cabot had ten year's of experience in organically growing fruits and vegetables in Humboldt County on the Klamath River when they began to plant wine grapes in 1998. Their first wine appeared from the 2001 vintage, vinified by John who is a self-taught winemaker.

Cabot's three vineyards are planted to red varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Zinfandel. Pinot Noir is sourced from Anderson Valley.

Tasted the next day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, the wine had
partially shed its oak topcoat, and the fruit was more expressive. I would give
